…And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of “interposition” and “nullification” — one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today!

That is one of Mom’s favorite speeches. Whenever she teaches it, she shows the video to her students and ends up crying at the end of it each and every time.
I too have a dream: one day us kitties will rule the world. Heck, we can’t do any worse than the current rulers.
Lovely and always moving!

That is a lovely post for MLK Day. Our dream is that those words could apply throughout the world.
Thank you for your posting, DKM. I’m familiar with Dr. King’s words, but it was nice to read them on the holiday celebrating his birthday. We’ve gone a long way towards making his dream come true yet still have a long way to go. Thanks again.
Happy MLK day! Beautiful picture and a wonderful tribute with his words.

It is so nice to see someone post this! It seems to just be glossed over and the kids don’t even know why they are out of school.
